It is decay. Every city has rough edges, but Detroit is rough all around. It isn't really scary though. Vacant. It embodies the sadness of the human condition. But within sadness there is hope. It is a multitude of stories within every building. There isn't too many safe little strip malls with big corporate names. Instead, a small business that is surviving. Struggling, but believing. And that is admirable.<br /><br />The businesses don't have some awning with speedy signage templates and consistent city blocks with rules on how to put up your signs. Instead, there are handpainted expressions of the business owner. Maybe an overstatement, I'm sure that the business just needed a sign. But it is quite refreshing. Some are old and decayed, misspelled, but graphically inspiring. I know that David Carson is way into this phenomena as well, and loves Detroit for it. Anyway, here are some pix:</p><br />gotta love the high-tech name for a nail painting place<br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/detroit_vernacular_typography/P5030041.jpg" width=400 ></p><br />This is the Atlas Furniture bldg., where derrick may, carl craig, etc. were once at. maybe they still are, not sure. been to a few parties there back in the day.<br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/detroit_vernacular_typography/P5030042.jpg" width=400 ></p><br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/detroit_vernacular_typography/P1010001_4.jpg" width=400 ></p><br />This place now has a fresh clean awning. bummer. a great place to play still. used to be a huge vietnam vet hangout. the area used to be a thriving artist community late 60's. Plumb st., which is replaced by freeway.<br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/detroit_vernacular_typography/P1010001_5.jpg" width=400 ></p><br />Love the fading political poster.<br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/detroit_vernacular_typography/P1010002_5.jpg" width=400 ></p><br />A pizza place that was once a bank. Where else but Detroit.<br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/detroit_vernacular_typography/P1010003_4.jpg" width=400 ></p><br />Actually in Hamtramck, A city surrounded by Detroit.<br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/detroit_vernacular_typography/P1010013.jpg" width=400 ></p><br />We pronounce it Gra-shit.<br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/detroit_vernacular_typography/P1010014_2.jpg" width=400 ></p><br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/detroit_vernacular_typography/P1010017_5.jpg" width=400 ></p><br />This one is cool. Right at the end of a major st. I think Warren.<br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/detroit_vernacular_typography/P1010019_5.jpg" width=400 ></p><br />That's Detroit's no. 1 Cleaners. And Catfish, of course.<br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/detroit_vernacular_typography/P1010022_4.jpg" width=400 ></p><br />Then there is stuff like this. Usually unearthed when a building got knocked down or a newer sign was removed.<br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/detroit_vernacular_typography/P1280076.jpg" width=400 ></p><br />Some more of that. Ah. and the dot on the billboard. This is part of the Heidelberg project. <a href="http://www.heidelberg.org/Pages/Artists/guyton/heidelberg.html">Tyree Guyton, brilliant artist. </a> Simplicity at its finest. A simple painted dot on a decayed building makes you look. Take second notice. They are all over the city. Even on the building we practice in.<br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/detroit_vernacular_typography/P5030038.jpg" width=400 ></p><br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/detroit_vernacular_typography/P5030039.jpg" width=400 ></p>Erichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05433324058661701872noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13468047.post-1118087579599173502005-06-01T15:52:00.000-04:002005-06-06T16:02:59.030-04:00NYCIn New York City - was here for work doin a biz pitch : : : man this city rocks. very inspiring wrote some new lyrics while here - it's a song we have called 'untitled for now.' might keep the name. anyway, a little sumpn like this: <br /><br />you tailor<br />the thoughts the signs<br />you say it all<br /><br />you can read the sonnet<br />it's another take another bottle<br />hang on hate to tell you little flower<br />a hello call a troubled tale<br />once in a while hey<br /><br />I'm your best friend<br />two on this trip <br />it's unlikely time you can't find<br />your way around<br />it might be<br />it might be there<br /><br />deities and demons around<br />it's surprising that we talk at all<br /><br />it's your senses<br />through honest tales<br />and i love your smiles<br />inside<br />it's another lovely day<br /><br />and it's another can't fit the puzzle<br />you belong with me please remind me to say<br />it's another song clean up the sky<br /><br />here's a pic from my room n sh@t:<br /><br /><img src="http://helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/P6010002.jpg" width=400><br /></p><br />a pic in the bathroom, lookin happy:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/P6010012.jpg" width=400><br /></p><br />cool blur - love this kinda sh*t wit the ol digi camera<br /><br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/tunnel_blur.jpg" width=400><br /></p><br />on the way back to the airport<br /><br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/taxicab_01.jpg" width=400><br /></p><br /><br />like the color<br /><img src="http://www.helveticamusic.com/weblog/images/sign.jpg" width=400>Erichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05433324058661701872noreply@blogger.com1
